Convert pound / square inch to pound-force / square inch

Learn how to convert 1 pound / square inch to pound-force / square inch step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (\frac{p o u n d}{s q u a r e i n c h}) = x (\frac{p o u n d - f o r c e}{s q u a r e i n c h})

Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit

(p a s c a l)

Left side: 1.0 (\frac{p o u n d}{s q u a r e i n c h}) = \frac{4.4482216152605}{6.4516 \times 10^{- 4}} (p a s c a l) = \frac{4.4482216152605}{6.4516 \times 10^{- 4}} (P a)

Right side: 1.0 (\frac{p o u n d - f o r c e}{s q u a r e i n c h}) = \frac{4.4482216152605}{6.4516 \times 10^{- 4}} (p a s c a l) = \frac{4.4482216152605}{6.4516 \times 10^{- 4}} (P a)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (\frac{p o u n d}{s q u a r e i n c h}) = x (\frac{p o u n d - f o r c e}{s q u a r e i n c h})

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times \frac{4.4482216152605}{6.4516 \times 10^{- 4}} \times (p a s c a l) = x \times \frac{4.4482216152605}{6.4516 \times 10^{- 4}} \times (p a s c a l)

Or

1.0 \cdot \frac{4.4482216152605}{6.4516 \times 10^{- 4}} \cdot (P a) = x \cdot \frac{4.4482216152605}{6.4516 \times 10^{- 4}} \cdot (P a)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times \frac{4.4482216152605}{6.4516 \times 10^{- 4}} \cdot (P a) = x \times \frac{4.4482216152605}{6.4516 \times 10^{- 4}} \times (P a)

Conversion Equation

\frac{4.4482216152605}{6.4516 \times 10^{- 4}} = x \times \frac{4.4482216152605}{6.4516 \times 10^{- 4}}

Cancel factors on both sides

Cancel factors

\frac{4.4482216152605}{6.4516 \times 10^{- 4}} = x \times \frac{4.4482216152605}{6.4516 \times 10^{- 4}}

Simplify

1.0 = x

Switch sides

x = 1.0

Solve
